Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this episode:

\\n

This time my mindset has had to become one of agreement and not one of opposition. And squaring up is not about being steadfast in the Word of God, but its really about can I square up in such a manner that I can look at Jesus and trust Him.

\\n

I\\u2019m not very brave and not very strong. When I\\u2019m weak there\\u2019s a strength that shines through. And when I\\u2019m afraid, He makes me courageous.

\\n

I know how to fight but I don\\u2019t know how to rest.
